NCAA Basketball Rankings - 5 Feb

Two of the biggest moves in this week's rankings came from perennial contenders Duke and Kansas, both of which are now in the top 15. FAU, one of the Cinderellas from last season's tournament, returned to the top 25 this week, joining Cincinnati and Baylor as new ranked teams this week. Here are my full current rankings:
